Every 100 years, one brave VACUMUS is dispatched to the upper kingdom of the CAVE PHANTOM to keep watchand prevent it from spreading evil to the outer world. Today, the VACUMUS is SLURPY!SLURPY'S only strength lies in his long snout, which enables him to suck in and swallow nearly every livingcreature within the caves.

user42 Posted July 17, 2009 Share Posted July 17, 2009 OOHHH Damn!! I hit a hot streak. Too bad I was not recording the game. I did not lose a life until cave 18 (where I lost 3). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JEFF31 Posted July 19, 2009 Share Posted July 19, 2009 (edited) 8895 cave 12 - screen grab was unsucessful the game switches back fast! On early attempts I was lucky to score 1000! points. I'll get my camera and try for a higher score. I'm impressed with the scores over 10,000! Edited July 19, 2009 by JEFF31 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

user42 Posted July 25, 2009 Share Posted July 25, 2009 Well I can't seem to top my high score, that may be a once in a life time game, but here are a couple pointers for everyone. 1. Clear the caves quickly. Your score is mutiplied by the cave level so you want to get to the higher levels ASAP. 2. Grab the gold glowbug as soon as you see it. When you are golden you can survive one hit or eat one poisionous enemy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
